"Resolution" Contest

Welcome to GG's "Resolution" Contest!!!

About contest?

Sometimes when we think about a beginning of something, we also must think about the end. The end of a story may be good or bad. Other times there are stories/situations where we know the causes, such as an earthquake or alien avasion, which could lead to catastrophic events. But what is there to be done in order to overcome such happening? This contest is finding a resolution; solving a problem by any means. Sounds interesting? Read on...

What would you do...if you were given the ability to change something about this world?

Would you fix famine, which is poverty, scarce of food, malnutrition, children in need?

Would you bye a bowl of spaghetti with meatballs and give it to a starving child?

Or...would you stop war, where casualties are endless and the purpose of such mission doesn't justify the end?

Or...would you beat pestillence, which is the widespread of diseases, epidemics, HIV?

Sounds interesting? Read on...

You, the contestant, must write a short story based on one of the three themes mentioned below. You will choose which theme you want your story to be based on. It must have a beginning and, of course, a resolution. You MUST have a way to end the story by providing a solution to the problem. The beginning may have already happened or is about to happen.
